Borussia Dortmund made an 2:0 home win over FSV Mainz 05 on the last
round of the German Bundesliga. From the last five league games, the
team from manager Jürgen Klopp won five times, for example the home leg
against FC Augsburg (4:2). The last defeat happened at the derby against
FC Schalke 04 (1:2). On the league table, Dortmund is on the 2nd
position with eight points advance on Bayer Leverkusen. Dortmund won all
of their five home games in the Champions League so far, for example
the game against Real Madrid (2:1). In the season of 12/13 Dortmund is
unbeaten in the Champions League so far.
Real Madrid are also going to lose their domestic title this season with
Barcelona 13 points ahead of them in la liga. This takes the pressure
off Madrid though and allows them to concentrate on this fixture rather
than domestic games. In the quarter finals Madrid easily won the first
leg 3-0 at home to Galatasaray but suffered a scare in the second leg
where they were 3-1 down going into the late stages but managed to score
again to ease the pressure.
These clubs met in the group stages of this seasons Champions League
and Dortmund got the better of the matches. The first match in Germany
was won 2-1 by Dortmund then the second game in Madrid finished 2-2 with
Madrid equalising in the last minute.
